Midfielder Ruler

Chapter 28: The Bench

In the ninth round of the Argentine Youth League in 2008, the River Plate youth team ushered in a not-so-strong opponent at home - Mendoza Independence.

After the assistant coach Christian Pizzi announced the starting list, there was an uproar in the team because Tang Zheng was excluded from the starting list.

Obviously, they thought that Tang Zheng had some unhappiness with the head coach Igabe Fabianni at the training ground a few days ago, and that was the only reason why Tang Zheng was excluded from the starting list due to his strength... …

Matteo Musacchio calmed his friend's mood immediately, and patted Tang Zheng's shoulder: "Don't think too much, Boratti is back from injury, and the opponent in this match is not strong, I think the old man just wants to Let's see how he recovers."

Tang Zheng didn't care too much, because he had already been mentally prepared.

In this home game, the River Plate youth team took the youth team from Mendoza in the second division lightly.

3:0

Boratti didn't play at his original level in the first game after his comeback, but Igabe Fabianni forced him to play the entire game, that is to say... Tang Zheng sat on the bench for a full 90 minutes.

Paul Andres, who came to the scene to interview Tang Zheng, felt that the situation was wrong, and his colleagues also thought so. After several rounds of league comparisons, Tang Zheng's strength was obviously stronger than Boratti's.

Soon, another possibility appeared in their minds.

Could it be... to hide Tang Zheng?

Preparing for the next round of away games against Boca Juniors?

If this is really the case, then the next round of the youth league is worth looking forward to. You must know that Tang Zheng and Boca Youth have a story!

Now almost everyone knows that a powerful defensive midfielder who has emerged from the River Plate youth team is none other than Tang Zheng, the substitute in the Boca Youth trial match last year.

When the enemies meet, they are extremely jealous. When the time comes... the competition will definitely be extremely fierce.

Therefore, Paul Andres did not ask Tang Zheng privately, fearing that it would affect Tang Zheng's preparations, and he could publish the content of the interview when Tang Zheng performed well in the competition.

Diego Simeone didn't pay much attention to the youth team because of the opponent he was about to face. Like everyone else, he simply believed that Igabe Fabiani hid Tang Zheng in order to prepare for the next round to challenge Boca Juniors. After all, this round of the league The opponent is not strong.

Why use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?

But... Tang Zheng, the youth team from River Plate Youth Team who challenged Boca Juniors, still didn't make it to the starting list, and he sat on the bench for another 90 minutes.

As a result, the River Plate youth team also suffered their first loss in the youth league of the new season.

0:2

The River Plate youth team lost away to the Boca Juniors youth team.

Tang Zheng sat on the bench for a total of 180 minutes in two games in a row. People couldn't help but notice a clue, especially those reporters with a keen sense of smell.

So at the end of the game, most of the reporters did not choose to interview the winning Boca Juniors, but went to interview the head coach of the River Plate Youth Team, Igabi Fabiani, and asked him why he didn't send Tang Zheng.

Judging from the past few league games, Tang Zheng's role is obvious. Not to mention how much he helped the team on the offensive end, at least on the defensive end, people can be completely assured that Tang Zheng was not deployed in this focus battle. Very unreasonable.

Igabi Fabianni's answer was very straightforward. He said: "Don's recent training state is not very good, so he was not sent to play."

But how can such an answer resolve the reporter's curiosity?

NO!

The reporter of "Ole News" couldn't help asking: "Since the training state is not good, why should he be included in the 18-man squad? This is very unreasonable...Is there a problem within the team?"

Igabi Fabiani's face turned black immediately, and he scolded angrily: "I am the head coach of the team, and it is my responsibility to lose.

But please don't use your imagination and not send him on the field. In addition to the state reasons, there are also tactical reasons! "

Of course, the reporters would not let Igabe Fabiani go easily, but Igabe Fabiani turned his butt and left directly. The reporters could only look at each other in blank dismay.

Paul Andres looked at the back of Igabe Fabianni, lost in thought.

Could it be... is there really a conflict between the generals?

In fact, this possibility is the greatest, otherwise Igabi Fabiani would not have put Tang Zheng on the bench for two consecutive rounds.

If this is really the case, then Tang Zheng's career has basically come to an end.

In other words, the first partner of Paul Andres' journalist career was about to be strangled in the cradle, but he was not reconciled, and immediately edited a text message and sent it.

Half an hour later, Tang Zheng replied a text message: Two weeks ago, I had a quarrel with the head coach.

It's over, it's over...

River Plate and Boca Juniors are the two giants in Argentina. At the same time, the two clubs are still mortal enemies for a century. Therefore, there will be red and yellow cards flying all over the sky in the two confrontations every season.

In the autumn league, River Plate and Boca Juniors have not yet started to compete, but the youth team has begun to take the lead. Many people are very concerned about this. The success or failure of the youth team indirectly reflects the strength of this team's youth training. Training is very strong in Argentina and even in South America.

But Wen Wu is the first, and Wu Wu is the second. There is always a competition.

But it was such a game that had to be decided. The River Plate youth team lost completely to the Boca Juniors youth team in the away game. This result made the River Plate team executives a little dissatisfied.

Similarly, the head coach of the first team, Diego Simeone, was very dissatisfied with the result of the youth team's game, but to be more specific, Igabi Fabianni did not send Tang Zheng on the field.

According to his understanding of Tang Zheng, he may not be able to meet the requirements of the first team, but there is still no problem in playing in the youth league. He needs to have a football intelligence, a physical body, and sometimes he can send a precise kick. long pass.

If this kind of player appears in the youth training of the relegation team, he will definitely be sent to the first team as soon as possible.

"What the hell is that guy Igabi thinking?" Diego Simeone said with a frown after learning the result of the game.

Jorge Gortillo was instructed by Diego Simeone to pay attention to Tang Zheng, and found that the Chinese teenager's ability is indeed very good, with great potential. His ability to cope with the youth league is no problem at all. Two consecutive games There is no way to play in the game, it must be related to the head coach Igabe Fabianni.

Thinking of how many times Diego Simeone mentioned to Igabi Fabianni in the past, what kind of tactics can bring out Tang Zheng's greatest power, it seems that there is...the meaning of joining the youth team.

So he slapped his thigh and said tentatively: "Diego, maybe we can think about the problem from a different angle. Didn't you mention to Igabi several times in the past how to bring out Tang's greatest power? Here... ...appears to incorporate some tactical changes..."

Having said that, Jorge Gortillo stopped and looked at Diego Simeone.

In terms of coaching seniority, Igabi Fabiani is much older than Diego Simeone, so...

Suddenly, Diego Simeone came to his senses and said to Jorge Gortillo: "This possibility...is very high."

But as the head coach of the first team, Diego Simeone will definitely not admit his mistakes to the youth team. Besides, Tang Zheng is innocent, and his ability is there but he is not used. As the head coach of the youth team, Igabi Fabian It's hard for Ni to blame.

Indeed, Nicholas, the director of youth training of the River Plate youth team, beat Igabi Fabiani that night, saying that now the senior management is becoming more and more dissatisfied with his coaching, especially after losing to the deadly enemy Boca Juniors...

The next day, those newspapers that pay attention to the youth league made certain reports on the focus match of the youth league that ended yesterday.

The headline of "Ole" said: "After this game, it is certain that Boca Juniors is the best youth training club in Argentina! In the 90-minute game, whether it is the proportion of the ball, or the passing of threatening balls, dribbling, and shooting, Boca Juniors are way ahead of River Plate's youth team..."

"Nation": "... Regardless of the strength of the youth training in the past, we should live in the present now. The result of the game tells us that Boca Juniors is the best youth training club in Argentina!"

The "Clarion" has a different point of view. They believe: "...Actually, the result of this focus battle does not explain anything, because the lineup sent by the River Plate youth team in this game is not the strongest. Tang Tang was excluded from the main force due to off-court factors, so Boca Juniors passed unscrupulously in the middle..."

...

Compared with most newspapers belittling River Plate to set off Boca Juniors, the related reports of the "Clarion" are obviously more attractive.

Lin Hanyan, an international student who was in charge of translating key events in South American football into Chinese and sending them back to China, looked at the "Clarion" in his hand, frowned, and murmured, "Who is this 'Tang'? Why is the "Clarion" Keep mentioning him?"

So, Lin Hanyan flipped through the "Clarion" newspaper more than a month ago, and finally found a news section headed by "Tang".

Could it be the same person?

After ten minutes of her judgment, it was indeed the same person.

Then he looked at the newspaper with "Tang" as the background picture of the headline. He has exquisite facial features, two sword eyebrows, big eyes, and looks very energetic. This... is obviously an oriental man.

Is it Chinese?

Thinking of this, Lin Hanyan was taken aback by her own thoughts.

Although she is not a serious fan, she still has a good understanding of the level of domestic football. Can the Chinese be able to dominate the Argentine Youth League?

While denying, she was not sure.

So...she decided to find time to go to the training ground of the River Plate youth team. If the 'Tang' in the newspaper is really Chinese, then...it will be a big surprise!
